A Fair Comparison.

Sam. D. McEnery evidently be-
iieves the people of Louisiana are
children, or silnpietons. The pres
ent administration, he declares, must
be pure and virtuous because Al
mighty God. in his beniacence, has
given us health and good crops, and
ordained that the national govern.
ment should rebuild the lerees. Sam,
however, would have it appear that
he influenced the Almighty in grant
ing these favors Of Divine Proyi-
dence. Agricultural prosperity ia
his great hobby. Well, how easy
this argument a he upset. When
William p. Kellogg was governor
sugar was worth SIS to $50 a hogs
head. To-day, under McEnery'a
regime, it is worth s35 to $40. Live
stock were also worth nearly double
what they are now. If McEuery has
aay Influence in regulating agricul'
tural affairs, he is clearly responsible
for the down fall In prices. 1t won,

A Large Estate.

A broad land is this in which we live,
dotted so thickIy with thrifty cities, towns
and villages. Amid them all, with ever
increasing popularity and helpfulness, is
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery,
giving hope and cheer where there is dis
ease and despair. Wherever there is hu-
manity there is suffering; wherever there
is suffering there is the best field for this
greatest American remedy. Consump-
ton (which is lung sorofula) yields to if,
If employed in the early stages of the dis
ease; chronic nasal catarrh yields to it;
kidney and liver diseases yield to it. If
you want the best known remedy for all
diseases of the blood, ask for DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and take no
other.

II there be one motive of this long and
thrilling drama more conspicuous than
another, if it conveys warming to the
comrades of these misguided men more
solemn and inevitable than another, it is
the absolute certainty that those who Sc elk
to overthrow American law and social
order by conspiring force and violence,
will only rush headlong to their own de-
structiOn. Social wrongs, if there be any,
can only be righted at the ballot box, and
by peaceahle agencies. Those who draw
the sword against peace and law in this
free country will perish by the sword.

try are amply strong for their vindication
